I was disappointed with the Black Lager as well.

Solid list. I always see the bigger bottles of the Omega at the store but $13 always seems too expensive for one bottle. Maybe one of these days I'll break down/celebrate and buy a bottle.

JI- You are correct sir. I just rechecked the bottle. It appears I have sip left over, I think I'll just sit here and smell it.

COA- I bought a 25oz for $7.99.

Not in Ohio. I've had a stash from out of state prior to the announcement.

I have had the balck and tan before, it isn't too bad. I don't consider myself much of a beer snob. My usual brand is Miller Lite or PBR so I suppose my opinion doesn't mean a whole lot. That being said, I thought the Yeungling black and tan is pretty good. If you like a nice stout then you will like this beer.

I'm not a beer snob either so I take all opinions without judging. PBR is one of my go to beers. Anyways just got back from grabbing some Yuengling. Wish I would have went somewhere else to get it now. I had to get cans and I'm a bottle kind of guy. Anyone else prefer bottles?

I think that 21st Amendment brews are pretty damn good. JMO.

Tonight I've had 2 of the Magic Hat Ourtobeerfest, 1 Left Hand Fade To Black Vol. 3 Peppered Porter and 1 New Holland Ichabod Ale.

Nothing wrong with beers in cans as long as it's good. 21st Amendment makes some good beers, and Sierra Nevada is coming out with cans.

I'm drinking the Ourtoberfest as we speak. Give it about a 6/10.

Yuengling is better from a bottle (as are most beers that don't blow dick). I only get it in cans when I plan on destroying it over a weekend and buy a case (like this weekend - I have the Lager in cans and the B&T in bottles)

My mom works at a convenience store, I go in for like 10 hours a week for extra cash and basically they left it up to me to order the Yuengling. However, the owner (who is never there and completely incompetent) got impatient and went to the distributor himself and came back with very few bottles and a bunch of cans. Our best seller is Busch in cans since we live in a town full of white trash who buys cans of shitty beer because it gets them drunk cheap and it's easier to hide when they drink and drive. Therefore, he thinks all beers sell better in cans. Now, I'm stuck with all of these cans no one will buy, and I ordered a bunch of bottles in as an attempt to correct his massive fuckup. They whine about losing money, this is why. Oh well, they have to pay me either way.

Which store. I will come buy beer from you (assuming it's in Salem) and we can mock your incompetent boss.
